NOTE

•
The priority
feature does not
operate while the
scanner receives
a trunking voice
channel or during
trunking delay
time. Therefore,
the priority check
seems random
during peak hours.
•
If you program a
weather channel
as the priority
channel, the
scanner stays in
the priority
channel only when
the scanner
detects the
weather alert tone
•
This scanner
cannot set a
channel as the
priority channel if
the channel's
receive mode is
MOT or ED.
